Gunfire towards an IDF Force from a Palestinian Police Position

Shots were fired tonight from a Palestinian Police position near the border fence surrounding the Gaza Strip, south east of the Erez crossing, towards an IDF force on operational activity in the area. The soldiers returned fire towards the sources of the shooting. There were no casualties.

The IDF sees the Palestinian Authority as responsible for such terrorist activity, which is aimed towards civilians and IDF soldiers, and emanates from Palestinian Police positions.
